BIG CROWD EXPECTED
AT CAME III MACON
"Preparations for what will probably
be the hugest crowd In the history of

now being made in Macon. Enough
supporters of both colleges live in Mu

tense and many of these report that
advices received from friends all over
the state Indicate a record-breaking

James t\ Tindall, one of Macon’s
well-known young business men, spoke
>f the game Wednesday night at the
Piedmont, where he had Just registered,
and as he Is a crank on the subject and
enthusiastic supporter of Georgia,
he ought to know. He says the man
agement of both teams have been to
Macon and made arrangements for tak
ing care of the crowd while the rail
roads predict these expected crowds
ill be there.
The ball ground at the Central Pit
park. where the game will be pulled
Is being placed In first-class cumilMon

along the side lines.

FAYETTEVILLE KICKS
AGAINST SHORTAGE
OF COTTON CARS
Fayetteville people brought a strong
protest before the railroad commission
Wednesday because of the lack of cars
move the cotton accumulated at that
lN>lnt.
W. Culpepper, uttorney for the
protesting business men, stated that
3,000 bales of cotton had accumulated
at Fayetteville and that half of it
was lying in the open unprotected from
the elements. The insurance compa
nies refuse to Insure It, the railroad
III not Issue hills of lading because It
has no storage room, and the hanks
decline to advance farmers money on
It because of lack of protection for lhe
staple.
Recently the railroad commission or
dered the Southern to supply Fayette -
Hie with 50 cars at the rate of ten a
day. Only 15 were supplied.
r tli*» Southern Attorney Albert
Howell and Superintendent Kagan
stated that the movement of cotton In
the past few weeks had been unprece
dented. They stated that It was de
livered to the Atlanta compresses tast
er than they could unload It, and that
2»M> to 300 cars of cotton ore now in
the yards here waiting to tv* unloaded.
Superintendent Kagan said that every
available car was being sent to the
points where cotton was congested,
and that other lines of business were
being inconvenienced to do so. He
said that every effort would be made
eiieve Fayetteville. With this un
derstanding the matter was postponed
until December 12.

But She hi if»*w hoping and praying
that Secret ary J. C. Logan of lhe Asso
ciated Charities can find some one to
help her little 14-year-old Benny.
Like his mother. Benny works In a
mill—or rather he did work until his
awful affliction of epileptic fits caused
him to get mangled in a machine.
With the wolf howling at her door,
the poor mother knew not which way
to turn until somebody told her about
the Associated Charities. There she
went with her only boy and laid bare
her pitiful tale.
Of course the first thing to do was
consult a physician and to one Secre-

Benny would never get well except un
der conditions which were impossible
for his mother’s finances.
He must stay, on a farm for six
months or a year. He must have three
good meals a day with a rest after each
meal and just enough work to keep hint
healthy.
Why, the poor mother didn't even
have car fare to send the lad away
providing the farm was secured.

Benny has but one eye. The other

affliction has made It Impossible for
him to remain In school. As a conse

It is a problem for Secretary Logan.
There Is no Institution in Georgia
where epileptics may be taken care of.
Of course when they Irecome badly ad
vanced there Is a place to send them—
the asylum at Milledgeville. but when
that time arrives there Is no hope for
them left.
There Is hope now if somebody
who has a farm Is willing to take Ben
ny and give him a show. That’s ull h*

In the past was that he never hod a
